Add the chopped onion and red bell pepper to the skillet and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until they become soft.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook for another 2 minutes, or until wilted.
Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables in the skillet. Stir gently to distribute the vegetables evenly.
Allow the frittata to cook on the stovetop for 3-4 minutes, until the edges start to set.
